Although the Microsoft Windows operating system has become more stable with every version released, there are still times when you may encounter issues. Viruses and spyware, hardware failure, and even improper shutdowns can result in a damaged system. If your computer's installation of the Windows Vista operating system isn't working properly, or if you'd just like to start fresh, you can perform a reinstallation of the Vista operating system.
Instructions
Insert the Windows Vista installation disc and restart your computer. You will likely be prompted to "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD." If you see this prompt, press "Enter" to continue starting from the installation disc.
Click the "Install Now" button.
Click "Go Online to Get the Latest Updates for Installation" if your computer is connected to the Internet. If your computer isn't connected to the Internet, or if you prefer to update later, click "Do Not Get the Latest Updates for Installation."
Type your Windows Vista product key into the text boxes on the "Type your Product Key for Activation" page.
Click "I Accept the License Terms."
Choose "Custom" when prompted to choose the type of installation you want to perform.
Choose the appropriate disk on which to install Vista, then click "Next." In most cases, this will be the partition that has the largest number listed in the "Total Size" field.
Click "OK" when you receive a prompt that "The partition you selected might contain files from a previous Windows installation."
